MODERATORS
You know how in the debate, the moderators posed this, "what if tech company A" wants to come or leave or etc.
Am I the only one in NYC who doesn't want the big tech companies? If Facebook or Google were going to leave NYC, I would be all for it. All the big corporate tech bros make this place worse, not better- they enshittify everything they touch.
Small tech, yes, big tech- or fucking "AI company with too much money doing some dotcom-like stupid product" - no.
Also - one edit - Facebook being in the old K-Mart building, somehow makes sense - except K-Mart was better. Somehow saw Phillip Glass there many a time.
You saw Philip Glass at K-Mart many times? Story time?
Yeah. He's a super nice guy. I mean- every time I saw him, I just thanked him for his music, especially the string quartets. He probably was like, "oh it's the guy I see in K-mart who likes my string quartets." So, maybe he's not nice, but he was nice to me. I know someone who knows someone who says he is experiencing cognitive decline - so if you want to write him fan mail, now would be the time.
